II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

Barnfield College is currently located on two main campuses in the north of Luton covering circa 24 000 m² (gross internal area): New Bedford Road and Enterprise Way.

Due to the age and inflexibility of the buildings on the existing campuses, the College intends to dispose of the 2 existing campuses and build a new, modern and innovate campus at a newly acquired site in Bute Street in Luton town centre (the ‘Project’). The estimated budget for the Project as a whole is

60-70 million GBP and it is intended that the Project will take three years. The intention is that the new campus will be operational from September 2020.

In summary, the new campus will: require a total gross internal area of approximately 17 000 m²; provide an efficient, flexible and modern learning environment for students; have high visual impact and contribute to the regeneration of Luton; be an educational hub and also be accessed by the community and public.

The purpose of this procurement process is to appoint a quantity surveyor team for the Project.

More information relating to the education facilities to be provided by the new campus and the scope of services is set out in the Specification (Schedule 2 to the Information Memorandum document) which is available on the portal.

The winning tenderer will report directly to the College’s appointed project manager for this Project (Fusion Project Management Limited).

No design work has been undertaken for the Project thus far and so the Project is effectively at RIBA Stage 0.

The Contracting Authority reserves the right not to award the contract, to cancel or amend the procurement process and does not bind itself to accept any tender. The Contracting Authority shall not be liable under any circumstances for any costs or expenses incurred by any Bidder or Tenderer (prospective or otherwise) in responding to this contract notice or in taking part in the procurement process.

The Contracting Authority reserves the right to disqualify any Bidder of Tenderer who provides information or confirmations which later prove to be untrue or incorrect; does not supply the information required by this contract notice or by the procurement documents or as otherwise directed by the Contracting Authority during the procurement process; or fulfils any one or more of the criteria stated in the procurement documents (including but not limited to Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015).

The Contracting Authority has decided that it would not be appropriate to divide this procurement into Lots.
